Correspondent in Lyon
Party on a crazy pace with multiple opportunities, an opening score of Martin Terrier (11th) and a quick equalization of Kylian Mbappé following a corner by Pablo Sarabia taken over by Layvin Kurzawa (13th), the OL shock - PSG has kept all its promises until the hour of play. Indeed, it will have taken a penalty, a hand and an exclusion of Marçal (62nd) to completely rock the match on the side of Paris.
Doubled from the penalty spot transformed by Neymar (64th), Lyon then no longer had the weapons, ten against eleven, to fight. With a magnificent solo, Kylian Mbappé hit the nail on the head (70th) before Pablo Sarabia validated his excellent match following a badly delayed corner (81st) and the native of Bondy did not close the large Parisian qualification in additional time ( 90th + 2). The score is heavy for OL but PSG logically climbed into the final at the Stade de France. See you on Saturday 25 April opposite ASSE or Stade Rennais.
NOTES OF THE OLYMPIC LYONNAIS
Full of good intentions for an hour, OL had a long illusion before cracking following the exclusion of Marçal after a second warning. The Brazilian has again been the weak link of the Gones against Paris. In the goals, Anthony Lopes , who multiplied the stops, does not have much to blame on the goals, sometimes abandoned by his defense. Radiating during the first act, the Marcelo - Jason Denayer axis was shattered in the face of the beating of Kylian Mbappé. Enormous in the first half, Léo Dubois suffered in the face of the acceleration of Parisian stars. In the middle, Bruno Guimaraes was very good for an hour before exploding physically. Carrying with him his companions Houssem Aouar and Lucas Tousart . In front, Moussa Dembélé did what he could, sacrificed after the exclusion of Marçal. Martin Terrier scored the only goal for Lyon but missed the ball 2-1 in half an hour. Assist, Karl Toko-Ekambi , brought a lot of movement and willpower into his right lane. The Cameroonian is credited with a very interesting match.

THE NOTES OF PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN
Odd match of the Parisians who, without making a big match, leave the Groupama Stadium with a very flattering success. Thomas Tuchel can still say thanks to Keylor Navas who kept his team in the match 1-1, winning their duel with Martin Terrier (31st). Sometimes struggling defensively and close to exclusion at the start of the second period, Layvin Kurzawa would have been invaluable in the air sector, at the origin of Parisian equalization. Jostled for an hour, the Thilo Kehrer - Marquinhos hinge finally held out. Thomas Meunier was satisfied with the union minimum. In the middle, Idrissa Gueye didn't score a lot of points. No more than Léandro Paredes .
However, the offensive quartet was very good. If he did not score and touched the post of Anthony Lopes (43rd), Edinson Cavani was precious. His failed control sent to Marçal's hand turned the match in favor of Paris. Scorer on penalty and assist on the fourth goal, Neymar Jr sometimes gave the impression of playing in spurts but turned his stats. Pablo Sarabia also made the nets tremble, confirming an excellent match against Lyonnais forced to make a mistake to keep it. Finally, with three goals on the clock and an overflow at the origin of the penalty, Kylian Mbappé was certainly the great man of the match.
Keylor Navas: 6
Thomas Meunier: 5
Thilo Kehrer: 5
Marquinhos: 5.5
Layvin Kurzawa: 6 (Replaced by Juan Bernat in the 81st minute)
Pablo Sarabia: 7
Leandro Paredes: 5
Idrissa Gueye: 5 (Replaced by Marco Verratti in the 65th minute)
Neymar Jr: 7
Kylian Mbappé: 9
Edinson Cavani: 6 (Replaced by Mauro Icardi in the 76th minute)
